Originally meant for long-distance Audax rides, and I think several 400km ones are on the list of what they have done. Another 400 was planned for the weekend that was coming up when the workplace accident happened 4-1/2 years ago.

Now you have indicated the bike in question is Ti, it might be worth checking the bits of the QR that have slots machined into them and face on to the drop outs. If they are worn, which is highly likely as alloy or steel facing on to Ti, new ones or whole QR might be a solution.
This has happened since everything was new. None of the axles in question have any machining on the contact faces.
